Congratulations to the Singers!

Ben and I have been in Roswell, GA, helping his sister and her family get ready for the baby. Mainly, Ben has been cooking a ton of food so they have yummy meals to eat in the next couple of weeks while Carrie is recovering. Ben hasn't really needed my help in the kitchen, except for taking care of a ton of dishes. Now they have a really well stocked freezer with three to five meals each of gumbo, bolo ragu, grilled chicken, and corn ragu.

On Saturday night, Carrie and Eugene decided to take us to Greenwood's to experience some southern cooking. Starting at 6pm, when we left, Carrie was having contractions, and all through the meal, Eugene was timing them. They thought it was probably just "practice" labor, which happened last time Carrie was pregnant. Around 9pm, after we got home, they decided to head to the hospital, and Ben's niece, Mia Heather Singer, was born around 8am, Sunday, Aug 31, 2008, about two weeks early. She was 6 1/2 pounds and absolutely adorable! Mom and baby are doing well, if a little tired. Here are a few pictures:

Looking like a grumpy old man:
